Metro, 15th August 2013Top 10 British comedy films
At last Ricky Gervais has done it. He's finally made a film that's good. And this got me thinking about my favourite all time British comedy films. And here they are, in chronological order to avoid favouritism.
Dave Heckler, UKTV, 22nd April 2010Sick of living in squalor in Sixties Camden, down-on-their-luck actors Withnail (an impressively intense debut from Richard E. Grant) and Marwood (Paul McGann) decide to take an idyllic holiday in the Lake District. This superb British tragi-comedy, which has become a cult favourite, follows the two unemployables as they tackle extreme weather and Withnail's lecherous Uncle Monty (a typically imposing Richard Griffiths).
